RN104 crashed with kernal seg-fault or ???
HI, My RN104 stopped communicating and after I verified that it was ON but not answering I looked at the front display and all the unit said was do_exit+8d8. It was non-responsive to the power butto...
Logs sent.
Corrections and additional information:
the same error display was just found with a shutdown I ordered just this eve. So the seg fault err shows as the box goes down and prevents it from going up until power is pulled and re-applied.
The OS is 6.4.2 not .2.4 as typed originally.
Teaming was adaptive load balancing, but I'm going to try changing it to Round-robin and see if it still crashes at shutdown.
Only apps running are SMB Plus and Log Analyzer.
Services are mostly file sharing (SMB, DLNA) and AV is currently Off as all the sharing is intranet only with me a the sole user.
If changing the teaming mode doesn't resolve it you may wish to try disabling Jumbo Frames as well.
I spent almost 3 months getting FW 6.4.2 fixes to include proper support for Jumbo Frames (at 9216) on the RN104. I'm the party that got that code changed (withouout teaming). I'll be darned if I'll un-do that or that the dev's would like such a result. Now if it's broken in teaming, that's news.
Side note: with Round-Robin, and jumbo at 9216 my RN204 is fine and not seg fault's at shutdown. Odd, eh?
